I'm thinking of getting one. I've paddled lots of different canoes over the years but I've always liked the big canoes of the fur trade and never had a chance to paddle one. I'm thinking something in the 25-28' range, (North Canoe) big enough to do a long trip with 4-6 people in it. I wouldn't mind paddling a 36' Montreal canoe but it's really too big for river trips.

We get all we need for up to 10 days in a modified K2 . It has a luggage opening between the people openings & one behind the rear person. We put a 60ltr barrel inside down in front of the feet of the front persons feet, 2 esky's (ice boxes) in the opening between the 2 people & a barrel & an esky in the back opening. All the other stuff is just packed in around the seats & any place else. A barrel is stacked on top of the 2 esky's. The kayak only just floats to begin with but as the food & drinking water load lightens it lifts out of the water. I like to take a water melon for the first couple of days, it sits between my legs.
4 to 6 in a canoe for days on end would be a challenge! I have seen couples nearly come to blows after a few days!

There's the advantage. It's not just a couple anymore.
Good tandem canoeing is a good as good sex. I'm thinking a Voyageur canoe equates to group sex.
